Limdub Company: A Limbus Company Fandub
Sylvia Flora for Rodion
More frequently known as Rodya (Hangul: 로쟈, Rojya), she is a lighthearted and nonchalant woman with a preference for informal conversation. She was previously affiliated with the Yurodiviye, having worked to overturn the injustices of the District 25 Backstreets prior to joining Limbus Company.
She is the focus character of Canto II: The Unloving.
Rodion is a fun-loving, laid-back woman who makes an effort to be on friendly terms with her fellow Sinners. Her speech is exceptionally casual, preferring to be called Rodya and possessing a tendency to give others cute nicknames. She'll often end her sentences with a giggle or cheeky remark. Rodya expresses a desire to be included in the group's antics and ensure that everyone is getting along, valuing their relationships with one another. She treats more vulnerable or actively upset Sinners in ways that sometimes comes off as babying or insulting to other members of the group, but her nature makes it clear she isn't acting out of ill will.
She is accurately described as easygoing, or even lazy. Often she can be seen complaining about a lack of high-quality food or the group's heavy workload. Despite this, Rodya does not appear to be unwilling to put in any effort, but rather someone who is determined to take advantage of the slow times and luxuries of life available to her. She openly admits to loving both money and gambling and views the world as a place where wealth is the sole deciding factor for one's quality of life.
Rodya also possesses a colder side which reveals itself when confronted by things she prefers to avoid, such as Sonya or her past. Despite her attentive and caring personality, she shows no concern for Sonya's wellbeing as the cave collapses at the end of Canto II, neglecting to offer him any parting words and growing uncomfortable when the Sinners "care more about Sonya['s deal] than [her]". Such reminders of her previous life cause Rodya to grow unusually indifferent and dismissive, testifying to her desire to let go of the memories which drag her down and become a new person she can be comfortable with. Yet, it is likely the case that these are closer to her true feelings than not. After the group parts with the Yurodiviye, Dante notes that "beneath her grin, Rodya's eyes were shaking with distress, but she soon covers it up with a guise of joviality as if nothing ever happened", suggesting that she relies on her confident, upbeat nature as a persona for covering up her internal weaknesses. While she often grows serious during general somber affairs, she has a tendency to tease her way out of situations or conversations focused on herself.
What is known of Rodya's history shows a strong commitment to her morals and no tolerance for hypocrisy. She is strong-willed in her kindness to the point of cutting off the person she'd grown up with out of disgust for his inability to act on the ideals he preached. Beyond that, she shows no regret for doing so. Sonya continually remarks that she commits these kinds of acts due to a desire to prove that she is special, however she denies these claims and continues to seek a life defined not by him, but herself.
Rodion's indulgence in gambling and her carefree attitude epitomize the insidious nature of gacha gaming and its detrimental effects. Much like the dangerous allure of pulling rare items or characters in gacha games, Rodion is drawn to the thrill of chance and the potential rewards it promises. Her fixation on money and gambling underscores her attraction to the unpredictable and often exploitative mechanics of such games. Rodion's casual approach to life and her tendency to trivialize serious matters reflect the harmful impact of gacha gaming, where players can develop addictive behaviors and suffer financial losses chasing after elusive rewards. Her carefree demeanor masks the deeper consequences of addiction and irresponsible spending, highlighting the damaging cycle perpetuated by these games, where enjoyment can quickly spiral into destructive habits with lasting repercussions.

You really are an odd one, Dante, darling. How can you stand living such a boring life? Did you forget all about your favorite stuff when you lost your head? If so, that’s… Yeah, that’s kinda sad…
